Grand-canonical simulation of two-dimensional simplicial gravity
The string susceptibility exponents of dynamically triangulated 2-dimensional
surfaces with various topologies, such as a sphere, torus and double-torus,
were calculated by the grand-canonical Monte Carlo method. These simulations
were made for surfaces coupled to -Ising spins (=0,1,2,3,5). In each
simulation the area of surface was constrained to within 1000 to 3000 of
triangles, while maintaining the detailed-balance condition. The numerical
results show excellent agreement with theoretical predictions as long as .Comment: 9 pages, Latex include 5 postscript figures, using psfig.sty and

One-Dimensional Quantum Transport Affected by a Background Medium: Fluctuations versus Correlations
We analyze the spectral properties of a very general two-channel
fermion-boson transport model in the insulating and metallic regimes, and the
signatures of the metal-insulator quantum phase transition in between. To this
end we determine the single particle spectral function related to
angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the momentum distribution function,
the Drude weight and the optical response by means of a dynamical (pseudo-site)
density-matrix renormalization group technique for the one-dimensional
half-filled band case. We show how the interplay of correlations and
fluctuations in the background medium controls the charge dynamics of the
system, which is a fundamental problem in a great variety of advanced
materials.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, final versio
High efficiency multifrequency feed
Antenna systems and particularly compact and simple antenna feeds which can transmit and receive simultaneously in at least three frequency bands, each with high efficiency and polarization diversity are described. The feed system is applicable for frequency bands having nominal frequency bands with the ratio 1:4:6. By way of example, satellite communications telemetry bands operate in frequency bands 0.8 - 1.0 GHz, 3.7 - 4.2 GHz and 5.9 - 6.4 GHz. In addition, the antenna system of the invention has monopulse capability for reception with circular or diverse polarization at frequency band 1
A transceiver module of the Mu radar
The transceiver (TR) module of a middle and upper atmospheric radar is described. The TR module used in the radar is mainly composed of two units: a mixer (MIX unit) and a power amplifier (PA unit). The former generates the RF wave for transmission and converts the received echo to the IF signal. A 41.5-MHz local signal fed to mixers passes through a digitally controlled 8-bit phase shifter which can change its value up to 1,000 times in a second, so that the MU radar has the ability to steer its antenna direction quickly and flexibly. The MIX unit also contains a buffer amplifier and a gate for the transmitting signal and preamplifier for the received one whose noise figure is less than 5 dB. The PA unit amplifies the RF signal supplied from the MIX unit up to 63.7 dBm (2350 W), and feeds it to the crossed Yagi antenna
Wind and waves in the middle atmosphere observed with the MU radar
The VHF band MU radar at Shigaraki, Japan, has been in full operation successfully since April 1985. Dynamical features found primarily in the data obtained by the radar during a one year period from December 1985 to November 1986 are examined. These include: basic wind observations, quasi-monochromatic gravity waves generated by the jet stream or through a geostrophic adjustment process, seasonal variation of the mesoscale wind variability, the momentum flux due to gravity wave motions, and saturated gravity wave spectrum. A short discussion is added to the relationship between turbulent layers and ambient wind field in the mesosphere
Superconductivity in S-substituted FeTe
We have successfully synthesized a new superconducting phase of FeTe1-xSx
with a PbO-type structure. It has the simplest crystal structure in iron-based
superconductors. Superconducting transition temperature is about 10 K at x =
0.2. The upper critical field Hc2 was estimated to be ~70 T. The coherent
length was calculated to be ~2.2 nm. Because FeTe1-xSx is composed of nontoxic
elements, this material is a candidate for applications and will activate more
and more research on iron-based superconductor.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Spectral analysis of temperature and Brunt-Vaisala frequency fluctuations observed by radiosondes
Recent studies have revealed that vertical wave number spectra of wind velocity and temperture fluctuations in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere are fairly well explained by a saturated gravity wave spectrum. But N(2) (N:Brunt-Vaisala (BV) frequency) spectra seem to be better for testing the scaling of the vertical wave number spectra in layers with different stratifications, beause its energy density is proportional only to the background value of N(2), while that for temperature depends on both the BV frequency and the potential temperature. From temperature profiles observed in June to August 1987 over the MU Observatory, Japan, by using a radiosonde with 30 m height resolution, N(2) spectra are determined in the 2 to 8.5 km (troposphere) and 18.5 to 25 km (lower stratosphere) ranges. Although individual spectra show fairly large day-by-day variability, the slope of the median of 34 spectra agrees reasonably with the theoretical value of -1 in the wave number range of 6 x 10(-4) similar to 3 x 10(-3) (c/m). The ratio of the spectral energy between these two height regions is about equal to the ratio of N(2), consistent with the prediction of saturated gravity wave theory
